This has remained a stunning wine. At 17 years still vibrant. Intense nose of petrol, lemon and beeswax, some ripe yellow fruit. Medium bodied, balanced acidity, great length.

No formal note: Outstanding nose, complex, mixing non-obtrusive petrol with ripe stone-fruit, white pepper and mineral notes. Great balance, fantastic length. Incredibly energetic for 14 years of sge. Really outstanding.

Pale golden yellow. Intense and complex nose of ripe to dried yellow fruit, sweet floral and underlying some slight petrol notes. Dry but full bodied and greatly balanced. Medium plus length with some lingering minerality. Very good indeed and worth waiting for it to come round. No rush to open my remaining bottles.

A private lunch (Ron Gastrobar, Amsterdam, Netherlands): Wonderful intensity and weight of fruit, rich style, ripe grapes, peach, hint of honey, lovely minerality, good acidity, lovely tension and length, nice hint of salty caramel on the finish.
